god bless
The opiates were great but they were physically addictive so I had to lie cheat and steal to support my habit. I wanted something that could get me high and that I could use when I wanted to and would not be as physically damaging.
In the last few years before I got sober I had all the symptoms of alcoholism as described in the BB and all the personality traits of the alcoholic as described in the BB.
Note that I was never a daily drunk except for a brief period when I was 20 years old.
